Convert or Die: Living in the Age of Trump

[Luis Gonzalez]

Just today, here on this site, another Trump supporter was saying that they'd be hunting down #NeverTrump with dogs after the election (if their god loses).

Let them come.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Trumpsters will hunt never trump down like dogs if Trump loses. Gee, I thought Trump was such a great candidate that he couldn't lose, basically?

Don't blame anyone but yourselves. We all told you how unpopular Trump was. The information was there, you just choose not to hear it.

The best illustration of the coming election that I've found to date.

A more accurate version.

That graphic wasn't always true.  But it sure is true now.

They can try......to hunt #nevertrumps down....but they'd better hope like hell that they don't (ever) find most of them.  They won't like the outcome.

Let them come.

Like most conservatives, I'll be easy to find and identify.

I believe in the constitution. I believe my rights are given to me by God not a govt. When the freedom to dissent is denied I'll be happy to join the dissenters.

LOL!  Yes.  But officer, in this case it's a good thing.   

Opened Thread.  Saw "Carling's" Name.   Almost had a stroke.  Thought it was Sock Puppet Sunday

Erickson has to have bodyguards because of the threatening messages from those who don't like what he's written.  Is that over the top, too?

There's a lot of denial going on from people who refuse to see what is actually going on.

At least I HOPE it's denial and not their being complicit in the threats.....

[musiclady]

Convert or die is much more appropriate for the death cult masquerading as a religion, islam.

Threats of violence from Trump supporters are abhorrent but I doubt they are representative of most of his supporters. Also, it would not be above dimocrap operatives to stir the pot and post threats. Classic Alinsky tactic.

Since Trump is actually a Democrat, what would the qualitative difference be between the two?

We are dealing with some dangerous people from both camps, and we'd better not just slough it off as some Dem operatives.  Threats are threats are threats, and loyalty to Trump clearly brings out the worst in many of his followers.

We've seen the devolution of character right here on this board.

[musiclady]

Dem Operatives... Trump Supporters....

not much of a difference

Sorry.   Didn't see your post before I wrote mine.

We're BOTH right. 

[musiclady]

  I think a lot of people feel that way when they see it.

I broke out into a cold sweat.....

That guy is ruthless.

He is a dictator waiting for the November election to become the dictator of the United States and no one on this planet will be safe from him.

His fan club can get as bent as they like about the WW2 Germany comparisons but ultimately it doesn't matter about what they think. Here or anywhere else. There are direct and well documented parallels, history is what it is and as it always does, history will go on to not only show those parallels for all to see. It will note well those who tried to deny and cover them up. It's just what history always does. THAT is why those on the wrong side of it fight so hard to rewrite it.

I have no doubt that the Brownshirts are riding again because anyone not lying to themselves and everyone else about it can see it clearly. But I also have no doubt that as before, once people feel enough pain, they will deal with them. Again. Just as people did before. It's too bad it has to be this way but human nature is what it is. Unfortunately humanity has grown soft so it's likely that this time there will be more pain involved before the latest iteration of powertrippers get put in their place.

No. they won't.

if Trump loses, it's his fault and his fault alone. I don't care how much Hannity and others whine and threaten blame upon others. Candidates make their case to the voting public. The loser of the election simply means he/she wasn't convincing enough to the majority of voters. No more complicated than that

We all know the above because we are sane, rational people who haven't drunk the Trump Kool Aid.  But the Trump supporters I've encountered (not on this forum so far, but elsewhere) already have their scapegoats ready, should Trump lose.  And they are already threatening those scapegoats with bodily harm.  I know -- I'm one of those scapegoats.  These supporters have been conditioned to emulate their god.  He never accepts blame for his failures either.  And like their leader, these Trump supporters are not above threatening anyone who doesn't fall in line.

conservatives and grass roots republicans will be hunting Never Trumpers with dogs.

Isn't it ironic that this poster was threatening those of us who are actually the "conservatives and grass roots republicans" and yet we are the ones that these Trump maniacs, who are neither Conservative nor Republican, will be coming after with dogs?

The guy denied it was a threat, but it was as clear as any threat could be against those of us who are morally opposed to the evil Trump.

The closer we are getting to election day, the more rabid these maniacs are becoming.  We had better be ready to defend ourselves.

Here's the thing:

People making those threats are by and large the same gutless wonders that say things like they do, then cower in a corner. They HOPE one of their crazier members will actually go do it because they never would themselves. And to be sure some, very few, WILL act on it. 

The thing to remember is the names of those people that empowered them. You can never stop truly crazy people from acting as truly crazy people do. You can however present evidence to law enforcement and turn in their accomplices. Because if I remember correctly, history shows that people like this don't hold power long and "I was just following orders" type excuses still result in bad days for those making such claims when their 'power' goes away.

In the mean time, you can mistakenly direct the Brownshirts of the day to their houses. Fog of war and all that.

So it is likewise solely the fault of Cruz and Castle, alone, not the voters or anyone else, that they didn't get enough votes to win the nominatuon/election respectively, right?

I'm not really disagreeing with you.  It just struck me that people sometimes blame the candidate, and sometimes the voter. And the only common thread i can discern is that who they blame tends to depend on whether or not they like the candidate in question.

In all honesty, does anyone actually believe that admittedly stupid comments like that were really meant literally? As in actual dogs hunting down the tens of millions who didn't vote for Trump?

I mean, does anyone actually believe that?

Words mean things. There are a lot of people sitting in jail right now for threatening to kill others that had no real intent. they were just mouthy.

the problem is that if someone is crazy enough to vote for a known liar, you really can't be sure what other crazy action, like hunting someone down and killing them, that they won't take.

Lets face it. Anyone that would vote to elect someone they know lies to them isn't mentally stable.

Yes, it has happened in history.  Its a movement!  a nationalist movement.  Remember when Trump told us that he saw the party becoming a nationalist party?

Correction it was a "workers party"

Reminds me the dumb ass dog we had that used to chase porcupines...
